Musical responses are subjective. What one person hears as harmony may be somewhat painful to someone else.
Composers can include both consonance and dissonance in their choices of notes, to achieve various emotional and intellectual responses.

Although the relationship between bass-end notes and chords and treble notes were briefly highlighted earlier in our mini-course, it bears repeating.
DEMO: With your mikes muted, play and listen as we press buttons 2 to 11 on the outside row and buttons 2 to 10 on the inside row, one after the other, accompanied by the appropriate bass-end buttons, for both pushes and pulls of the bellows. |

Merely a suggestion:
Pick one two from the melody list at left to play as smoothly as possible in preparation for Unit 8. That way, when we get to Unit 8 in a couple of weeks, you won't have to keep looking at the accordion notation for the right-hand treble notes, but can instead focus on the "two beats" per bar. |

I've included four new melodies for the following two reasons:
1. Not everyone may want to start playing the bass-end buttons at this time, but would prefer to learn more melodies. 2. If, and when, you are ready to focus on tunes, playing with both hands, these selections can provide a suitable next-step. |
